About this property

Wind Cave Cabin ~ Just Wonderful!

Welcome to Wind Cave Cabin!! Located on one of the highest points in the Southern Black Hills, you will find breathtaking views (you can actually see 30+ miles to Nebraska), picturesque beauty, deep ravines and rock outcroppings.

This wonderful three level vacation hot spot rests on 20 acres at the address of 26853 US Highway 385. You will see natural wild life including elk, deer, buffalo and turkey right from the front deck. Bordering Wind Cave National Park, tour the cave, go spelunking or just relax and enjoy seeing buffalo, elk, antelope and prairie dogs at play.

Privacy galore and very close to historic Hot Springs just 5 miles to town all pavement. In Hot Springs, enjoy the unique shops, sandstone buildings, the world famous Mammoth Site (an active dig of the ancient Woolly Mammoth), warm mineral waters at Evans Plunge, and a world class 18 hole Golf Course. Southern Hills Golf Course is a short undulating course that will have you using every club in your bag. Southern Hills Golf Course is a well-rounded combination of playability and aesthetic appeal that makes your golf game more enjoyable than any other course. New in 2019 is a stay and play package with both Evans Plunge and Southern Hills Golf Course. Show them your email confirming final payment and receive 10% off your entrance/fees. Native Mule deer, wild turkey and cottontail rabbits abound around the course...and the occasional sighting of the wiley red-tail fox interact with the rolling terrain, ravines and majestic Ponderosa Pines at Southern Hills Golf Course.

Close to all the attractions of the Black Hills: Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, The Wild Horse Sanctuary, Custer State Park, Black Hills Playhouse, Jewel Cave and Wind Cave, to name just a few.

After a long, hard day come home and relax in our 6 person hot tub nestled in the trees. If hot tubbing is not your thing, relax on one of the many decks with incredible 360 degree views of the Southern Black Hills. Tame your hunger while enjoying the covered patio with an outdoor eating area and large gas BBQ grill.

Inside, a state of the art heat pump keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The kitchen and dining area have great views and come fully stocked with dishes, silverware, pots and pans, coffee maker, toaster, blender, plus all the major appliances-refrigerator, stove and microwave. The main area has new flooring in 2023 and plenty of seating, windows for a view, and big screen TV. The downstairs family room has all the amenities of home including a satellite receiver, DVR, big screen TV, Nintendo Wii gaming system (with games or bring your own) and a DVD player. Stay connected with wireless internet throughout.

Three bedrooms that include the loft all with queen beds will sleep six. Additional sleeping areas will accommodate air beds (provided). The master bedroom on the main floor includes a queen bed, deck with a view, and bathroom. The second bedroom on the lower level also has a queen bed and bath across the hall. The loft bedroom with queen bed has envious views of the Southern Black Hills. The two baths are fully stocked with towels and basic toiletries. You have your own laundry with full sized washer and dryer for your use.

A perfect Sturgis Rally rental, included is a huge garage and lots of trailer parking. Come visit Wind Cave Cabin. I think you will agree, this is the perfect Black Hills get away.

Peaceful Getaway
This was a very peaceful getaway. It was very roomy for 2 couples. Bedrooms are nice sized. Bathrooms are also really nice. We didn't use the loft bedroom but it looked really nice. The views are awesome. They had all kinds of deer on the property. It was a great stay.

Tranquility
Rather out of the way as far as the popular attractions in the Black Hills but that's fine by us. Wind in the pine trees and deer in the yard....pretty perfect.

Awesome location!
We stayed at Wind Cave Cabin last week and I can't say enough about it! The location is amazing! So many buffalo and prairie dogs in the area. One of the mornings while enjoying coffee on the upper deck, 6 mule deer walked up. We spent many hours enjoying the upper and lower decks. Communication with the owners was superb! Highly recommend Wind Cave Cabin!
